Ebook: Politics and the Environment: From Theory to Practice (Environmental Politics)

Comprehensive and accessible, this book covers all aspects of politics and the environment and environmental ethics, including: environmental philosophy and ideology, environmental movements, collective action, economics, international dimensions, European integration, and national and local responses. Using international case studies, the authors introduce the key concepts and issues surrounding environmental problems and political solutions. Beginning with the complex background which informs environmental policies, such as moral beliefs and attitudes towards the environment, they then investigate the people, movements, and organizations that form and implement these policies. The book also explores the impediments to the successful implementation and adoption of environmental policies.
